Customer Reviews

They had a special going for June saying "free donut hole" with a dozen donuts. figured it was a good morning to surprise my team with some sugar. I didn't realize it was a free dozen of them so I'm currently secretly snacking on them waiting for my office manager to open the building. delicious and fresh!

I will recommend this place! We love everything! Their dough is soft. Even if you eat your leftover in the afternoon, it?s still soft! Very good! Love how friendly they are. They have different flavors and unique ones. I would rate 10/10. ?? These are one of them, sorry for being messy. Soooo good!

Great selection, delicious, friendly, clean. Already planning a return visit! We got a variety of doughnuts (glazed, blueberry, raspberry filled, bavarian cream, holes), a croissant, and a spinach croissant. Everything was fresh with eye appeal--especially the spinach croissant, which had a decorative top crispy bread layer. The plain croissant might be the best croissant around, really hits that buttery, crispy craving! The doughnuts were airy with a sweet flavor, with just the right amount of filling to

Food was good except when they microwaved my burrito the wrapper stuck to the burrito, melted, and i couldn?t eat part of it. Other than that the donuts are good and so is the biscuits.

. Best maple bar I?ve had in my life. The pudding was superb. The maple frosting was the best. The taste of the dough had no miserable aftertaste. It was fresh and absolutely delicious..

THE BEST DONUTS ON THE NORTHSHORE!! **** the glazed will melt in your mouth and the chocolate are glazed first and then chocolate covered which is hard to find and what we prefer. Soooo good y?all!! We will drive across town for these anytime

We love Rika Donut. The family who owns the shop is the sweetest and we love the food. Everything from the burritos to the donuts is delicious. Always fresh, always clean, and always great.

I waited all week to be able to go to the shop on today to get donuts for my work crew. I was excited to see that they open at 4 am bc I usually get to work at that time and it?s in the way. Well just left there at 415 am and they are not open. The doors are locked and no one is answering the phone. The hours of operation are also plastered on the front door. Please change your times to the correct time bc I am late to work for no reason now.

Great selection; we loved the donuts, kolaches, breakfast sandwiches, and ?special? colored mini donut holes for the kids. Everything we got was delicious! We?ll be coming back.

Nothing but good experiences here so far! Delicious and fresh!

6 donuts. Light, fresh, and delicious. It?s been a while since I had donuts, and I am not disappointed. I?ll return soon.

LOVE finding new donut shops, especially so close to my house! The menu is extensive and the donuts are fresh and HOT!
